that said, I can't stand having someone stalk and monetize your every move

Well, they can't. I have an anonymus account only for youtube that I access only over the VPN with adblockers.

I don't want to do all that just to watch a few videos a day.

I kinda stop using these services after a while. I want the recommendation algorithm.

Israeli strikes on Rafah raise fear assault could begin in c/[email protected]

The war began after Hamas fighters raided Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people and abducting 253 hostages according to Israeli tallies.

That's not when the war began.

Meh, when you have a chip that powerful and that energy efficient, trying something in wearable computing is a no brainer imo.

It does feel like that. in c/[email protected]

That's why I don't get the arguments about "x and y will kill the fediverse". Bruh there's nothing to kill in the first place.

Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you? (lemmy.ml)
 

I've been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).

I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn't go nuts either.

Made me think maybe people aren't actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.

EA games launched through Steam are borked (lemmy.ml)
 

Ever since the issue with Apex not launching was fixed, I'm not able to play any EA games with Steam Proton.

Apex, which doesn't launch through the EA app flickers immensely on Fullscreen and Borderless Window. Flicker goes away when windowed, but the GPU utilization regularly goes down for a few seconds, dropping the FPS.

Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 5: I get an EA app screen that says "Preparing Game" which exits after about 1 minute (I think steam is timing it out).

Proton logs show some errors about not being able to load a few DLLs but research on the internet points to them not being relevant.

I have tried on all combinations of below:

  • Hyprland, KDE, and Gnome. All Wayland.
  • NVIDIA 545 and 550
  • Linux-zen 6.7 and 6.8
  • Arch Linux and NixOS
  • Proton 7 through Proton Experimental as well as GE 9.1 and 9.2
